Abstract

Information indication and determination methods and apparatuses. The information indication method includes: issuing joint indication information based on a mapping relationship between quantity of transmission blocks (TB), and at least one of a resource allocation mode and/or a modulation coding strategy (MCS), in which the joint indication information is configured to indicate quantity of scheduled TBs and at least one of the resource allocation mode and the MCS through indicating the mapping relationship.

Claims (29)

1 . An information indication method, performed by a base station, comprising:

sending joint indication information based on a mapping relationship between quantity of transmission blocks (TB) and a resource allocation mode and a modulation coding strategy (MCS), wherein the joint indication information is one information field in DCI, wherein the joint indication information is configured to indicate directly quantity of scheduled TBs and the resource allocation mode and the MCS concurrently through indicating the mapping relationship;

wherein the mapping relationship between the quantity of TBs and the resource allocation mode and the MCS comprises:

a mapping relationship between quantity of TBs less than or equal to a threshold and a resource allocation mode of a first number and a MCS level of a second number.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein one or both of,

numbers of MCS levels included in different MCS sets are different; or

MCS levels included in different MCS sets are different.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping relationship between quantity of TBs and the resource allocation mode and the MCS set comprises:

a mapping relationship between quantity of TBs greater than the threshold and a resource allocation mode of a third number and a MCS level of a fourth number, wherein the third number is less than the first number, and the fourth number is less than the second number.

4 . An information determination method, performed by a terminal, comprising:

receiving joint indication information, wherein the joint indication information is one information field in DCI; and

directly determining quantity of transmission blocks (TB) and a resource allocation mode and a modulation coding strategy (MCS) concurrently based on a mapping relationship indicated by the joint indication information;

wherein the mapping relationship between the quantity of TBs and the resource allocation mode and the MCS comprises:

a mapping relationship between quantity of TBs less than or equal to a threshold and a resource allocation mode of a first number and a MCS level of a second number.

5 . An information determination apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the information determination apparatus to perform the method of claim 4 .

6 . An information indication apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

send joint indication information based on a mapping relationship between quantity of transmission blocks (TB) and a resource allocation mode and a modulation coding strategy (MCS), wherein the joint indication information is one information field in DCI, wherein the joint indication information is configured to indicate directly quantity of scheduled TBs and the resource allocation mode and the MCS concurrently through indicating the mapping relationship;

wherein the mapping relationship between the quantity of TBs and the resource allocation mode and the MCS comprises:

a mapping relationship between quantity of TBs less than or equal to a threshold and a resource allocation mode of a first number and a MCS level of a second number.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein one or both of,

numbers of MCS levels included in different MCS sets are different; or

MCS levels included in different MCS sets are different.

8 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the mapping relationship between quantity of TBs and the resource allocation mode and the MCS set further comprises:

a mapping relationship between quantity of TBs greater than the threshold and a resource allocation mode of a third number and a MCS level of a fourth number, wherein the third number is less than the first number, and the fourth number is less than the second number.
